At East Wichita Dentist, we know that missing teeth can have a negative effect on the smile’s appearance as well as function. This is why our practice can help patients restore their smiles with solutions such as dental implants. Dental implants are titanium posts used to replace missing teeth, either a single tooth or several teeth. These versatile solutions can support dental bridges, crowns, or even dentures depending on the needs of the patient.
Dental implants do require patients to have enough jawbone to support the implant. If the bone has been lost due to disease or other conditions, it can make a successful placement of the dental implant difficult. This is why our dentist may suggest mini dental implants. Mini dental implants are smaller, which allows them to be used in situations such as this. Our team may perform x-rays to find out if mini dental implants are more appropriate.
Mini dental implants have their own benefits. Some of the benefits of these restorations include smaller space needed to place them, as well as the ability to place without the need for bone grafting. They are just as strong, though they require shorter healing times. This makes them a highly desirable option for those who have been missing teeth for quite some time and want to achieve a more beautiful, fully functioning smile quickly.
At East Wichita Dentist, we offer our patients a wide range of services to give them the chance to rejuvenate their smiles quickly and easily. We recommend patients come to our practice and learn about the ways in which treatment can transform the way their smile looks and functions as a whole. We offer implants, bridges, and dentures depending on what our patients require. Call us today to book a consultation appointment and find out more about the advantages mini dental implants and other dental restorations can provide for those who are missing natural teeth.
